Tonight my friend invited me to an awesome block party in East Van, that I'd never heard of before, and it was pretty cool! It was in an alley by Nanaimo and Venables, and it had a really rad scene going on. The music was chill, and it reminded me of stuff you'd hear at an island festival. Actually, everything about it made me feel like I wasn't in Vancouver, but in South America or Mexico. It would be so great if the city had more stuff like this, but you almost want to keep it on the downlow, since it's like a hidden gem, safely tucked away in a suburban neighbourhood, with what are clearly really awesome neighbours to allow them to do this every year - and for a good cause too! The money from the alcohol is being sent to Nirobi!
Anyway, here are some photos of what it was like, it really felt like I was somewhere else.
Summer in Vancouver is so nice, especially when the weather is nice too!
